Duratool No.4/M3 Steel Captive 'U' Nut Clip Fasteners, Pack of 100

The Duratool No.4/M3 Steel Captive 'U' Nut Clip Fasteners provide a robust and reliable threaded fixing solution for securely joining panels in a wide range of applications. These clips, often called 'U-nuts' or panel clips, are designed to offer a permanent female thread in sheet metal and plastic panels where a traditional nut and bolt would be impractical.

Constructed from durable steel, they ensure a strong and vibration-resistant hold. A key feature is the generous lead-in design, which allows for easy and quick assembly, reducing installation time. They are intended for use with standard M3 or No. 4 self-tapping screws, enabling a fast and secure fixing without the need for additional tools to hold a nut in place.

Versatile Applications

These captive nuts are incredibly versatile and are commonly used across numerous industries. Typical applications include securing components in motor vehicles, domestic appliances, electrical enclosures, and industrial machinery. They can be mounted either on the edge or in the centre of a panel, offering flexibility in design and assembly. Their design makes them ideal for blind applications or where access to the back of a panel is limited.
